There will be no scheduled pay hikes for classified employees within Marlington Local Board of Education who recently received a new contract.

The three-year contract for the Ohio Association of Public School Employees unit runs from the start of July to June 30, 2017.

“There was no pay increase at all on the base (wage),” Superintendent Joe Knoll said. “It mirrored what we did for our teachers. There was no pay increase for them either. We are trying to make our ends meet.”

The OAPSE bargaining unit represents support staff, such as bus drivers, cafeteria workers and custodians.
